History of My Life, Vols. 3 & 4

History of My Life, Vols. 3 & 4 by Casanova, Giacomo Chevalier de Seingalt Chevalier. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780801856631.

Award-winning translation of the complete memoirs of Casanova available for the first time in paperback. Volumes 3 and 4 offer some of the most extraordinary episodes in Casanovas extraordinary life, including his liaison with the nun M. M., and his flight from the State Inquisitors prison—each in its own way a feat of singular dash and daring. Because every previous edition of Casanovas Memoirs had been abridged to suppress the authors political and religious views and tame his vivid, often racy, style, the literary world considered it a major event when Willard R. Trasks translation of the complete original text was published in six double volumes between 1966 and 1971. Trasks award-winning translation now appears in paperback for the first time.
